Yay Congress!Since the House has had a bite, now it's the Senate's turn. A hearing on the XM-Sirius Merger is scheduled to kick off on March 20th at 2:15pm ET for the Senate's Antitrust Subcommittee.

The hearing, artfully entitled "The XM-Sirius Merger: Monopoly or Competition from New Technologies" will be presided over by Sen. Herb Kohl, (D-WI).

And while a witness list isn't yet available at this time, I'm pretty sure Mr. Mel Karmazin will be making an appearance. Fun fun.

Thanks Rob!

Don't know about anyone else but I still can't get enought about the merger. It's an ongoing process with twists and turns seemingly everyday. For better or worse, it's a part of radio history.

I e-mailed my senior senator who will be chairing this hearing on what my position is as an xm subscriber. Whether he takes it into account or not remains to be seen. I don't know yet whether this hearing will be aired on c-span or c-span2.
